Jackie Ryan: You and the Night and the Music
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
On most vocal recordings, singers are accompanied by their usual band, perhaps with a famous guest sitting in for a track or two.

Steve Khan: Borrowed Time
by John Kelman
Steve Khan's first record in nine years, The Green Field (Tone Center, 2006) was splendid, and represented an impressive combination of some of the guitarist's freest playing to date alongside the compelling Afro-Cuban grooves that have inspired him for years.
